Record Of Tides is the stage name of acclaimed German multidisciplinary media artist Sven Piayda. Within the project he blends different musical styles and production methods moving between electronica, post hip-hop, avant-garde and post rock into post-genre while live performances are usually accompanied by his visuals and video installations. Piayda looks back on releases and gigs over two and a half decades and continues to stand out with his diverse sound – remaining both distinctive and trailblazing.

The ‘Intercelestial’ album – the Record Of Tides debut on Mahorka – draws its primary inspiration from a summer trip to the Dutch North Sea, where Piayda took some time to enjoy albums of (mostly) German electronica artists. Back home he started working on new tracks which all ended up in the album. He was supported by long-time friend, musician and producer Michael Schreiber (Primal Scapes), who once again mastered the album and contributed visual material featured in the artwork.
The album includes a collaboration with IG-75, also known as Mario Meyendriesch, paying tribute to Piayda’s deep-rooted connection to the regional electronic music scene. Meyendriesch, Schreiber and Piayda are all part of the Electric Café Ruhr Collective – a vibrant network of electronic musicians from the Ruhr area known for jamming, producing and performing at festivals together.

The album is escorted by two music videos as directed by Sven Piayda: ‘Nice Try’ released parallelly to the album, ‘Filets’ a little time later.

On November 22, 2025 the Eunoia in Mülheim an der Ruhr hosted the Novembertronica Festival curated by Alex Kupsch featuring live sets Shunsoke Oshio, Thomas Machoczek and Record Of Tides. Within his set Sven Piayda teased numerous live versions of unreleased tracks like ‘Nice Try‘, ‘Superdusk‘, ‘Kitchen Spam‘ and ‘The Beach Crate‘ which turned out to be material from the ‘Intercelestial’ album.
A live recording if the gig is available from Bandcamp: Record Of Tides 'Live at Novembertronica 2025-22-11' documents the room ambience of the performance as recorded by Alex Kupsch and mastered by Michael Schreiber.

‘Ivo was into the ‘On A Spectrum’ album, so I offered him a compilation EP back in spring 2025, instead he asked for new material to be released on Mahorka. To my own surprise, I finished the ‘Intercelestial’ album in August 2025 and we agreed on a release date in spring 2026, which left plenty of time to develop the tape artwork and music videos.
A big thank you to Ivo for giving me the opportunity to share my music on the Mahorka label and its audience, while being open minded, supportive, and patient throughout.’ – Sven Piayda
